Raiders QB Geno Smith Wants to Go Long, but the Deep Pass Isn’t Always There

Geno Smith's three interceptions contributed to the Raiders' offensive struggles, limiting them to 218 total yards against a strong Chargers defense, officials said.

  • The Las Vegas Raiders lost 20-9 at home to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, with Geno Smith throwing three interceptions.
  • The Raiders' offensive struggles stemmed from a weak running game last season due to a poor offensive line and Smith forcing throws during the game.
  • Las Vegas' defense is strong against the run, allowing just 70.5 rushing yards on average and sharing the eighth spot with six sacks recorded, while the offense struggled with only a 25% success rate on conversions.
  • Smith said, "I'm never going to make any excuses," acknowledging mistakes and pledging to improve quickly despite a rough outing compared to his strong Raiders debut.
  • The Raiders stand at 1-1 and will visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday, aiming to use film review and practice to raise their performance.
